A Letter

All this time my good friend Gord Bateman  was in New Zealand thinking about coming back to Canada.

If you have small children cover their eyes.

Written on Aug 18,1972. One day before Fraser’s 1st birthday.

Sail Away

Glenn couldn’t sit still. 

There’s Annette, Dave and Mary. mover helpers/1972

This was it. Emptied the house into the rental truck.

Caught the 2 AM CPR ferry and we’re off to a new adventure.

Fraser and the Startups/1983

After I left Glenn hired Gyrithe(Goo) and then married her! Late as usual they moved to Hornby, built a house and settled down.

If you want to see what happened when we hit Hornby go here.

The End

So, this is  my sojourn into photography in the 1960’s. The highlighted texts are links. Just click on them to find out where I’m taking you. If you want to make a comment or see the comments just click on the title. If you missed the beginning go to rcainphoto.com and scroll back many days. 

This was it. The final party. Behind Glenn are the Posters I had printed then sold throughout Vancouver. They ended up in the Hornby Co-op for sale.  We had some beer and I was presented with a beautiful Nikon lens. You can see my enlarger on the desk which I had reclaimed. Focus used it all the years I was there. Speaking of years it was only 4 maybe 5 that I worked at Focus. An amazingly short time that would influence me for the rest of my life. This was it. Time to go!

Glenn stuck this on my enlarger. Kept it on Hornby. Memories.

Another Annette Shaw creation.

A semi-practical use for my 10,000 historical photos
